Title Medical Research Program Agencies W. M. Keck Foundation Description The Foundation strives to fund endeavors that are distinctive and novel in their approach. It encourages projects that are high-risk with the potential for transformative impact. "High-risk" comprises a number of factors, including questions that push the edge of the field, present unconventional approaches to intractable problems, or challenge the prevailing paradigm. In all our programs, "transformative" may mean creation of a new field of research, development of new instrumentation enabling observations not previously possible, or discovery of knowledge that challenges prevailing perspectives. In addition to the above, in the Southern California Program, transformative may also mean positioning an organization for growth and adaptability. Applicants may find it helpful to look over the abstracts of recent grants for understanding funding priorities. Grant abstracts may be found on our website within the particular program of interest. Funding is awarded to universities and institutions nationwide for projects in research that: 1. Focus on important and emerging areas of research 2. Have the potential to develop breakthrough technologies, instrumentation or methodologies 3. Are innovative, distinctive and interdisciplinary 4. Demonstrate a high level of risk due to unconventional approaches, or by challenging the prevailing paradigm 5. Have the potential for transformative impact, such as the founding of a new field of research, the enabling of observations not previously possible, or the altered perception of a previously intractable problem 6. Does not focus on clinical or translational research, treatment trials or research for the sole purpose of drug development 7. Fall outside the mission of public funding agencies 8. Demonstrate that private philanthropy generally, and the W. M. Keck Foundation in particular, is essential to the project’s success More Information http://www.wmkeck.org/ Submission Limits One per deadline Deadlines Internal Notice of Intent Dec 3, 2021 Notification of Internal Competition Dec 4, 2021 Internal Pre-proposal Dec 17, 2021 Results of Internal Competition Feb 1, 2022 Agency Notice of Intent/Pre-proposal N/A Agency Proposal May 1, 2022

	Notice of Intent Deadline of Dec 3, 2021 Has Passed
Title COMPUTATIONAL CHEMICAL SCIENCES Agencies Department of Energy (DOE) Description The DOE SC program in Basic Energy Sciences (BES) hereby announces its interest in receiving new and renewal applications from small groups (of 2-3 Principal Investigators [PIs]) and integrated multidisciplinary teams (typically from multiple institutions) in Computational Chemical Sciences (CCS). Single-investigator applications are not responsive to the objectives of this FOA. CCS will support basic research to develop validated, open-source codes for modeling and simulation of complex chemical processes and phenomena that will provide fundamental understanding and predictive control of these processes and phenomena through the full use of emerging and planned exascale computing capabilities. CCS focuses on developing capabilities that allow modeling and simulation of new or previously inaccessible complex chemical systems and/or provide dramatic improvements in fidelity, scalability, and throughput. Teams should bring together expertise in domain areas (e.g., electronic structure, chemical dynamics, statistical mechanics, etc.) and other areas important to advance computational tools such as data science, algorithm development, and software architectures. Priority will be given to efforts that address chemical transformations and energy transduction processes across multiple scales in complex environments and systems related to BES-supported basic research in scientific topics underpinning clean-energy technologies and transformative, low carbon manufacturing. CCS will continue to support the DOE Exascale Computing Initiative (ECI). The ECI aims to accelerate the research and development needed to overcome key exascale challenges and maximize benefits of high-performance computing. This FOA continues the BES commitment to ECI by developing open-source codes that can take full advantage of emerging and planned exascale computing facilities.

Title Partnerships for Research and Education in Chemistry (PREC) Agencies National Science Foundation (NSF) Description The CHE Partnerships for Research and Education in Chemistry (PREC) program aims to enable, build, and grow partnerships between minority-serving institutions (MSIs) and CHE-supported Centers for Chemical Innovation, NSF's ChemMatCARS, the Molecular Sciences Software Institute (MolSSI), or the Molecule Maker Lab Institute (MMLI) to increase recruitment, retention and degree attainment (which defines the PREC pathway) by members of those groups most underrepresented in chemistry research, and at the same time support excellent research and education endeavors that strengthen such partnerships. The PREC program includes two Tracks to catalyze the development of research and educational endeavors at MSIs as well as to improve the PREC pathway. Track 1 focuses efforts on establishing and strengthening the PREC pathway through smaller research and education collaborations. Track 2 includes improvements and expansions of the PREC pathway while also building larger collaborations and capacity for research at the MSIs with support for the integration of research and education efforts.
